Euro. Auckland

Apologies to followers - No steak and Ale pie today. Maybe too ‘country’ for the Lake District. Had to resort to the traditional fall back with mushy peas.

My car dealer pays for the breakfast while I'm having my car serviced. Which is why my husband comes with me.

Breakfast in Auckland this morning

 

[TheRealTMA]

Normal Steak and Ale pie service resumed at The Ship Inn outside Coniston. Could have had the Steak and Black Pudding pie but kept it traditional for comparison.





And fish cakes.

Loving those English pubs

Food in Sri Lanka was great - and this reminded me of how much I enjoyed it!

Do you put salt on your papaya after the lime squeeze? My friend (grew up in Mexico) taught me that trick and it’s so good!

Oh, thanks for the tip. Next time!
